July Morning

Every year, as the first day of July dawns, Bulgarians gather along the seashore to welcome the sunrise in a tradition known as July Morning. Despite its name sounding foreign, this holiday is a uniquely Bulgarian celebration, part of the country's recent history, particularly influenced by the hippie movement of the 1980s.

Legendary rock band Uriah Heep, which celebrates 50 years in the business this year, will be in Greece for two shows on February 8 and 9, at Athens's Fuzz Club and Thessaloniki's Principal, respectively.
